dunno if u figured it out yet but i had this problem on my Integra. Happened when my rear main started to leak. As an ASE technician i can tell u that "shimmying" or "shuddering" under regular acceleration is a symptom of oil on clutch. Maybe its possible that he fixed his leak and sold u a clutch that was already contaminated with oil and got a new one.

Try replacing the front and rear motor mounts. I'd say there is a 66% chance that what you think is the clutch chattering is actually the motor moving around more now that you've changed the engagement cycle by replacing the clutch.

Buying used items is hit or miss - but it is almost never a good idea to buy used “consumable” items (filters of any kind, brake pads, clutch, etc.). Paint is a consumable item. If you ever start to get suckered into buying used consumables because of price or something - just remind yourself how silly it would be to buy used paint.

you realize the stock clutch is an exedy clutch right?

Stage 1 Exedy has much higher holding power than the stock MSP Exedy clutch!
